React Native, a JavaScript framework and product of Facebook, is widely used by developers to build quality, native and powerful mobile applications for iOS and Android. The framework quickly rose to fame after Facebook open sourced it in 2015.

As React Native has become the current trend for building cutting-edge mobile apps, many developers want to get insight into the best code editors that are currently available for the framework. That said, I am bringing to light the best 7 code editors you can use for React Native to create immaculate mobile apps. However, developers must understand that the word “Best” may vary as per their specific requirements.

Currently, the largest barrier to automating front-end development is computing power. However, we can use current deep learning algorithms, along with synthesized training data, to start exploring artificial front-end automation right now.

In this post, we’ll teach a neural network how to code a basic a HTML and CSS website based on a picture of a design mockup. Here’s a quick overview of the process:

We’ll build the neural network in three iterations.

First, we’ll make a bare minimum version to get a hang of the moving parts. The second version, HTML, will focus on automating all the steps and explaining the neural network layers. In the final version, Bootstrap, we’ll create a model that can generalize and explore the LSTM layer.

The feature set of ECMAScript 2018 was finalized during the latest TC39 meeting (23-25 January 2018). This blog post describes it.

A word on ECMAScript versions

Note that since the TC39 process was instituted, the importance of ECMAScript versions has much decreased. What really matters now is what stage a proposed feature is in: Once it has reached stage 4, it can be used safely. But even then, you still have to check if your engines of choice support it.

Lately, there’s been a lot of buzz around PWAs with many claiming it to be future of web development, especially in terms of mobile devices. At its core, a Progressive Web App (PWA) is simply a web application that uses modern web techniques to deliver a native app-like experience to users. These are web applications with progressive enhancement to implement features like caching, background sync, and push notifications.

Even though PWAs have been around for more than two years now, the response is quite underwhelming. Few big players have adopted this philosophy but most haven’t actually embraced it very much. Chrome and Mozilla are perhaps the best browsers to test out your PWAs as Apple is yet to get into this stuff.

One of the first things you learn when you start programming is that, just like any craftsperson, your tools matter. Notepad.exe isn’t going to cut it. A powerful editor and testing pipeline supercharge your productivity. I still remember learning to use Vim for the first time and being able to zip around systems and complex programs. Do you remember how hard it was to setup all your compilers and dependencies on a new machine? How many cycles have you wasted matching versions, tinkering with configs, and then writing documentation to onboard a new developer to a project?

I ended up having to wade through a sea of ambiguous and seemingly conflicting results:

“ECMAScript is a standard.”

“JavaScript is a standard.”

“ECMAScript is a specification.”

“JavaScript is an implementation of the ECMAScript standard.”

“ECMAScript is standardized JavaScript.”

“ECMAScript is a language.”

“JavaScript is a dialect of ECMAScript.”

“ECMAScript is JavaScript.”

Holding back the urge to cry, I bucked up and decided to commit to some painful yet productive research.

This article represents my current understanding of the differences between JavaScript and ECMAScript. It is geared towards people who are familiar with JavaScript but would like a clearer understanding of its relationship with ECMAScript, web browsers,

Over the past few months, I’ve been asked the same general question about Angular multiple times in onsite training classes, while helping customers with their architecture, or when talking with company leaders about the direction web technologies are heading. Here’s the general question:

“What are the key benefits that Angular and TypeScript can offer our development teams?”

It’s a great question and one that should be asked before jumping into any new technology or framework. Most of the people asking are technology managers or directors interested in understanding the benefits that Angular can offer their teams (both technical and non-technical). They’re concerned about application maintenance, developer productivity, handling change requests, the longevity of the framework, the pace of technology, and more.

Originally released in 2003, WordPress is still the king of CMS. But with the rise of Node.js, there are many modern challengers that have large communities, support themes, plugins and are easy to install on your own server. Here are 5 you might want to checkout.

KeystoneJS is a powerful CMS framework, build on Express and MongoDB. It gives you an easy way to create dynamic projects with well-structured routes, templates and models.

The project comes packed with awesome features like a good-looking admin UI, helpful API utilities, session management, email sending, extensions, and much more. It also offers a command line tool for creating a new project and setting up all of its assets.

Considering that written words are the foundation of any interface, it makes sense to give your website's typography first-class treatment. When setting type, the details really do matter. How big? How small? How much line height? How much letter-spacing? All of these choices affect the legibility of your text and can vary widely from typeface to typeface. It stands to reason that the more attention paid to the legibility of your text, the more effectively you convey a message.

In this post, I'm going to dive deep into a seemingly simple typesetting topic—effective use of letter-spacing—and how it relates to web typography.

With the recent release of Node.js 8.5, three very exciting new features landed in the Node.js core. In the short blogpost, you are going to learn about them!

ECMAScript Modules in Node.js!

One of the most requested features of Node.js was to provide support for ESM. What it means is that you can now use the import keyword, without transpiling your code. So from now on, you can run snippets like these:

import fs from 'fs'

The only two things you have to pay attention to is to name your file with the mjs extension and to run Node.js with the --experimental-modules flag.

Today, we are excited to announce the 1.0 release of the Yarn JavaScript package manager, a major step for the project. In the 11 months since its initial release, Yarn has generated a large following. Currently, there are more than 175,000 projects on GitHub with a yarn.lock file in their root directory. In use by many large and small companies, and across the open source community, Yarn is now responsible for nearly 3 billion package downloads per month. Reduced install times are a big draw for many users. Twitter, as well as Microsoft on outlook.com, have seen improvements of 5x in install times.

Developer tools are a collection of software that makes life easier for developers. Traditionally, we’ve thought of them primarily as the IDE, linter, compiler, debugger, and profiler.

But JavaScript is a dynamic language, and along with its dynamic nature comes a need for more runtime developer tooling. JavaScript has this in spades.

For the purposes of this article, I’m going to include runtime tooling, and even a couple libraries that enhance runtime developer visibility and debugging. The line between dev tools and libraries is starting to blur. With mind-blowing results.

Migrating from webpack 2 to 3, should involve no effort beyond running the upgrade commands in your terminal. We marked this as a Major change because of internal breaking changes that could affect some plugins.

So far we’ve seen 98% of users upgrade with no breaking functionality at all!!!

Scope Hoisting is the flagship feature of webpack 3. One of webpack’s trade-offs when bundling was that each module in your bundle would be wrapped in individual function closures. These wrapper functions made it slower for your JavaScript to execute in the browser. In comparison, tools like Closure Compiler and RollupJS ‘hoist’ or concatenate the scope of all your modules into one closure and allow for your code to have a faster execution time in the browser.

Umar has always been the most prominent figure in our industry when it comes to exposing the powers of the Chrome Devtools, and his collection of tips have been my single reference and “source of truth” when it comes to learning about how I can improve and speed up my workflow using the different devtool features. Since the first day I followed him, I’ve learned more about what I can do with devtools than I ever thought was even possible. He has been sharing literally the most extensive and most useful tips that I’d never seen anywhere before. It’s always been like getting insider access to features as soon as they landed. If you care the slightest bit about improving your everyday dev workflow and getting not only better but also faster and more efficient at what you do, then I highly recommend taking his course. I can’t think of anyone else I’d trust to have the latest and greatest on this topic than him. Don’t miss out on what he has to offer. It'll be 100% worth it.

As you may know, I’ve predicted that Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and other hybrid Windows Store apps will be much more popular than Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps on Windows 10. So what did Microsoft say—if anything—about PWAs at Build 2017?

It’s a fair question because the phrase “Progressive Web Apps” was barely mentioned during both of Microsoft’s hours-long keynote addresses. But if you look through the Build 2017 session list on Channel 9—they’re all available for viewing on-demand or via downloads—you’ll find a few PWA-related sessions and events.

Features are wonderful. When Node.js adds a new API, we can instantly do more with it.

Wouldn’t a larger standard library be more useful for developers? Who could possibly object to Node.js getting better? And who, even more strangely, would actually remove APIs, making Node.js objectively worse?

Turns out, lots of people:

Isaac Schlueter, author of npm among other things, mused 4 years ago about how Node.js could be radically shrunk in size.

Dominic Tarr, an incredibly prolific Node.js module author , tried to lay out a plan for making Node.js smaller by moving features into npm installable modules.

But it goes beyond the input devices or the ability to hover; the screen refresh rate, the color of the screen, or the orientation. Making assumptions about these factors based on the width of the viewport is not reliable and can lead to a broken interface.

I'll take you on a journey through the land of Media Query Level 4 and explore the opportunities that the

Let’s face it – the digital world is changing as we speak. In such reality, it is definitely hard to adapt to trends. However, that is exactly what the big names in the industry are doing.

Major apps like Facebook, Instagram, Netflix and others are constantly improving their experience and adapting to new frameworks and trends.

As of recently, there is a big word of mouth going around ReactJS and its impressive features.

In case you still haven’t heard about the potential of ReactJS, they are numerous. Basically, React has become very popular among developers and there are lots of resources that make most of its technical merits –

Should I choose Angular, or React? Today’s bipolar landscape of JavaScript frameworks has left many developers struggling to pick a side in this debate. Whether you’re a newcomer trying to figure out where to start, a freelancer picking a framework for your next project or an enterprise-grade architect planning a strategic vision for your company, you’re likely to benefit from having an educated view on this topic.

To save you some time, let me tell you something up front: this article won’t give a clear answer on which framework is better. But neither will hundreds of other articles with similar titles. I can’t tell you that because the answer depends on a wide range of factors which make a particular technology more or less suitable for your environment and use case.

Suppose you had a list of students in a classroom, and you want to know how many are girls. You might write something like this:

That's a fine, functional way to do it. If you utilize the language features of Javascript, you can save yourself some time. Try Javascript's filter function attached to every array!

Filter returns a new array that is a subset of the array you call it on, wherein the callback function returns either true or false. A true value will include that item in the new array. A false value will leave it out. This makes it easy to write filters that can accommodate however simple or complex you need. In our class, lets say we instead want to find all the students that are eleven, and have the letter 'e' in their name. With a filter, we just need to return

Using a quality responsive CSS framework can give you a nice head start on any web design project. Some, like Bootstrap, are a bit bloated with excess code while others require a fairly steep learning curve.

Ideally, you want to work with a package that gives you just enough features to help you hit the ground running, while not weighing you down with a bunch of options you don’t need.

With that goal in mind, here are 10 CSS frameworks that provide the basics – without all the bulk.

FICTOAN aims to be a great choice for those who aren’t fans of larger, more complex frameworks. It features a vivid color scheme, custom icons and lots of lightly-styled design elements.

Progressive enhancement focuses around providing a core ‘device-agnostic’ experience for all users. By starting with a solid foundation that works everywhere, HTML, we ensure our application is usable for as wide an audience as possible. This encourages us to pare down our applications to their essential features — be it reading the news or sending and receiving messages. Once we’re confident this core experience is functional for everyone, we can start to layer on styling and interaction to provide a better experience for devices which support it.

Apollo Client 1.0 contains the best features from the 0.x series, and more:

Apollo Client 1.0 will also have a few significant improvements over the 0.x series:

New functions for fine-grained cache reads and writes

A vastly simplified client API with new patterns for returnPartialData, reduxRootKey and resultTransformer and better defaults for queryDeduplication and notifyOnNetworkStatusChange.

fetchPolicy replaces noFetch and forceFetch.

For a successful launch, a lot of things have to be right. We wouldn’t have gotten to where we are today without our amazing community, and we’re counting on you again to make this launch a success. Here are some of the things you can help us with:

WebAssembly CG members representing four browsers, Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and WebKit, have reached consensus that the design of the initial (MVP [1]) WebAssembly API and binary format is complete to the extent that no further design work is possible without implementation experience and significant usage. This marks the end of the Browser Preview and signals that browsers can begin shipping WebAssembly on-by-default. From this point forward, future features will be designed to ensure backwards compatibility. This consensus includes a JavaScript API [2] and binary format [3] accompanied by a reference interpreter [4]. You can test out WebAssembly today using the Emscripten toolchain by following the developer’s guide [5] and reading more on MDN [6]. The next steps will be to form a W3C Working Group, to produce a specification for the initial version of WebAssembly, and to continue iterating on future features [7] in the current Community Group. To get involved, you can join design discussions [8] and contribute [9] to the the WebAssembly GitHub project. Signed, Luke Wagner, Ben Titzer, Filip Pizlo, and Abhijith Chatra P.S. We are also happy to announce the selection of the official WebAssembly logo [10]! [1]

Visual Studio Code combines the ease of use of a classic lightweight text editor with more powerful IDE-type features with very minimal configuration, it “just works”.

I’ve done a lot of PHP, JavaScript and all-round development (HTML, CSS, React, Python, Ruby) over the past couple of years. As a developer, your code editor is one of the most important parts of your setup. It can save your wrists and fingers from repetitive strain injuries. It can save your eyes from going blind after a coding marathon.

As web developers do, I started off on Sublime… at a time when there wasn’t much competition in the code editor space. When
